Angkor Wat and National Park AMAZING! - Don’t book anywhere else!! We did two days with the amazing Thou our English speaking guide and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Lots of bits we didn’t expect made it all the more special. Day one Angkor Wat sunrise via glam TukTuk and temples tour left at 5 back by lunch amazing tour and knowledge. Day 2 trip up through the national park to see the reclining Buddha via beautiful mini van air conditioning cold towels and water provided. We had pandan cakes saw villages and also swam in a beautiful waterfall - don’t procrastinate this is the tour to do if you want to experience Siem Reap 😊

Angkor Wat sunrise and Kulen Mountain - We were in Cambodia as part of our honeymoon and decided to go for a private tour of both Angkor Wat at sunrise and the Phnomn Kulen Mountain. I found Lao and his company Cambodia Overland Travel on TikTok and reached out, with Lao responding really promptly and sending over a fantastic suggested itinerary for our few days in Siem Reap. We were delayed by a day getting there due a missed flight connection, and Lao was really flexible moving our Angkor Wat tour to another day. He connected us to our tour guide Sopheak who was with us for both trips - a truly lovely man who made our experience a pleasure. It was brilliant to do the Angkor Wat and temples tour with a private guide as not only can you do things more at your own pace but you also essentially get your own photographer - and one who knows the best spots - when you’re on honeymoon that means a lot to have a lot fantastic photos you can treasure forever! The tuk tuk driver was great and always ready with a cold towel and water upon return! It was nice to have a coffee stop too at a local place that was included in our tour. The Kulen mountain trip was a also a real highlight - and again we were so lucky being on a private tour as a couple that we basically had the waterfall to ourselves when we visited for a good 45 mins (before a group turned up!) and that was an amazing experience that you can’t put a price on and I’ll always remember. The car for the mountain trip was really luxurious and well air conditioned, the driver again was great and always offering us refreshments and towels. I will just add that due to the great car experience we did decide to book an airport return with them, and were told that it would be the same car and driver. This wasn’t the case, and the car that ended up taking us wasn’t the same quality and was also extremely hot for most of the hour long drive, with the air con taking a long time to kick in. Not sure if there was a miscommunication or what happened there but we were a bit disappointed by that. Nevertheless we had a fantastic experience with Cambodia Overland Travel and would definitely recommend booking them for your trips in Siem Reap!

Amazing Angkor Wat Tour Experience! - We had an amazing experience with Cambodia Overland Travel! My wife and I did the Angkor Sunrise Tour with Li-On as our guide, and he was absolutely incredible. He picked us up directly from our hotel and guided us through Angkor Wat and several other beautiful temples in the area. Li-On is extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and significance of each site we visited. On top of that, he’s a fantastic photographer — he captured some unforgettable moments for us throughout the tour. If you’re looking for a tour guide in Siem Reap, we highly recommend Li-On and Cambodia Overland Travel. Thank you so much, bong! 🙏

Amazing Angkor Wat Tour with Lao - We had a fantastic early morning tour of Angkor Wat with Lao as our guide. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and provided excellent explanations throughout the visit. His deep understanding of the country and its hidden gems made the experience even more enriching. We highly recommend his services for an authentic and informative tour!

BEST TOUR - Had the best time with Lao!!!! He is so knowledgeable about the temples and so passionate about Cambodian culture. He grew up in rural Cambodia and later went to university in Siem Reap and his masters in the UK, and returned to Cambodia to work in tourism and spread the word about his culture through Tik Tok and instagram in addition to his tours. So he is very impressive and passionate, and Such a cool and fun guy too. And apparently famous on Tik Tok and he kept getting recognized . We actually woke up late and missed the group with sunrise and ended up meeting the tour around 8 am after they saw Angkor Wat. After the tour was finished he actually brought us to Angkor Wat and redid that part of the tour since we had missed it. In the end we went to 3 temples + Angkor wat and he showed us all the cool secret spots too. Plus the driver Mr Sak was so so nice and gave us ice cold lemongrass towels after every temple :)

Incredible Tour of Angkor Wat - I joined Lao and two other travellers on a tour of Angkor Wat and some of the other popular temples, including Ta Prohm and Bayon. The tuktuk picked me up promptly at 5:00am and we made it to Angkor Wat with plenty of time to see the sunrise. Lao was super informative and answered all of our questions with no hesitation - he is very knowledgable and good at what he does. It was also nice to have the opportunity to ask general questions about Cambodian culture and the history of the country. The tour did not feel rushed at all - we spent a good amount of time at each temple, and there was always opportunities to take photos, sit down and take a break if needed. The tuktuk met us outside each temple with a cold flannel and bottle of water. The level of service totally exceeded my expectations and made the tour much more comfortable. I highly recommend joining this tour!

Best tour in town - The organization was on point. Communication was great. Lao picked me up at my hotel by Tuk Tuk (a really new and good one!) early in the morning and then we went straight to Angkor Wat. Lao’s English is really good, he explains many things during the tour and takes a lot of photos for everyone. Everything was perfect, I have nothing bad to say honestly.
